Each day I will introduce a new vocabulary word written in a sentence. Through the context of the sentence, students will determine its meaning and validate their inference by looking the word up in the dictionary. (also focusing on dictionary skills)Â
Grammar / Parts of Speech will also be studied through these mini lessons daily.
Students will be learning how to use a variety of sentences to create more interesting, advanced sentences including how to form a compound/complex sentence.
By finding these words throughout the day...reading, hearing someone use the word, or even using the word correctly in class, or outside of class, will result in an extra credit point. Students keep track of these points on a chart in my classroom and are added at the end of each quarter.
Trimester assessments on vocabulary enrichment will be given.
